More Baby Chick Pictures and a Video

I tried to talk my teenage daughter into holding the chicks and posing for pictures, but no luck. I had to put them on a towel and hope they stayed still.

This little girl is the only one who stayed still enough to get a good picture.

Here she even sat down to rest while she stared at the camera.

You can see in the pictures that her middle toes are yellow. You can tell them all apart by how much yellow there is on their middle toes.

I made this funny video of the chicks just doing what chicks do. They are two days old here. I tried to get them to jump into my hand, but they were too busy.

These chicks sleep a lot more than I remember any other chicks of mine sleeping. I guess they must be putting all their energy into growing. They are eating and drinking plenty and pooping enough for an army. They get really active, run around and make noise then they snooze for a while. It is very cute when one is snoozing and another wakes her up. The one that is woken looks around like, "what did I miss?"

I hope you enjoy the pictures and video. They chicks will be changing so fast. I will try to keep pictures coming.

About Me

I am a chemist/ entomologist who loves to garden and make soap, cheese, beer and bread (chemistry in the kitchen)and loves to sew, knit and crochet. I am married with one teenage daughter and just finished graduate school. I love to figure out how to make things myself that I used to buy at the store, even if it takes longer and costs more. You'd be surprised how often it turns out to save money and time to do things yourself, but the best thing about making things yourself is you get what you want not what someone wants to sell you.
I have also recently discovered Roller Derby, and I love it. I finished our fresh meat training program and am now an official member of the Apple City Roller Derby team.
